She was just a toddler, facing an impossible situation. Diagnosed at two, treated at three, and now at 4 years old, Aleisha Hunter has beaten breast cancer. Her mother tells NBC how it all started...
MELANIE HUNTER: “I noticed when she was two and a half, she had a small lump on her left breast.”
Doctors diagnosed Aleisha with Juvenile Breast Carcinoma. It is extremely rare -- only a few hundred cases have ever been documented. Doctors performed a “radical modified mastectomy” to fight the tumor -- removing her nipple, areola, breast tissue and the lymph nodes under her arm.
Aleisha’s case stunned everyone, including her surgeon Dr. Nancy Down. She tells the Daily Mail:
“We were so shocked when the diagnosis was made... I've been dealing with breast cancer cases for 25 years and have never come across a patient this young. She is the youngest known case in the world.”
Media outlets used Aleisha’s story as a starting point for more in-depth discussions about the disease. An Atlanta-based oncologist lists the alarming statistics of breast cancer on CNN.
“Fewer than 5 percent of invasive breast cancers occur in women under age 40, according to The National Institute for Health... About 12.2 percent of women born today will get a breast cancer diagnosis at some time in their lives, according to The National Cancer Institute.”
Aleisha’s story also reminded some in the media of similar miraculous survival stories.
ABC reports Hannah Powell-Auslam was just ten years old when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009. She endured both chemotherapy and a mastectomy.
HANNAH POWELLL-AUSLAM: “I feel like a kid inside, but sometimes I feel like an adult - when I’m always at the hospital.” (ABC)
And some media members used the story as an education opportunity, like this Babble blogger.
“Girls need to learn about breast cancer from as soon as they are old enough to understand... I always figured puberty was a good age to start, but this story reminds me that puberty is too late... It’s vital to teach our children (boys and girls) that lumps of any kind should be shown to mom or dad, and pain should always be reported.
Hannah and Aleisha will undergo reconstructive surgery when they reach puberty.

Scientists in Cyprus, say they’re close to full development of a new test for Down syndrome in the womb -- and medical professionals are calling it a game changer.
The new procedure analyzes a pregnant mother’s blood for differences between her DNA and the DNA of her fetus. Down syndrome results from an extra copy of chromosome 21, and is a common cause of mental retardation. (Video: WTXF)
Currently, the only way to diagnose Down syndrome before birth is through a process called amniocentesis. Though most women forgo that test. A writer for Technorati explains why.
“Tested at 15-16 weeks gestation, a needle is inserted into the mother’s uterus and amniotic fluid is extracted. As a result, 1 in 100 pregnancies will end in miscarriage.”
On Philadelphia Fox affiliate WTXF, one doctor can barely conceal his excitement.
Dr. MIKE CIRIGLIANO: “A blood test! Is that cool? That is really cool.”
Anchor: “That is amazing.”
Dr. MIKE CIRIGLIANO: “Having gone through this again with my own wife -- Do you want to have an amniocentesis? There are risks associated, but you want to know.”
Anchor: “Sure.”
Dr. MIKE CIRIGLIANO: “And so, this could be a sea change.”
But a writer for Care2 reports 90 to 95 percent of women terminate their pregnancies after a Down syndrome diagnosis, so while the new test is exciting -- it also raises some high-stakes ethical questions.
“The parents of disabled children tend to say ... their love for their child has far outweighed the difficulties. At the same time, however, making sure that children with Down's Syndrome ... have a positive, supported life does require a significant commitment on the part of the parents, both emotional and financial.”
Finally, a doctor from Boston’s Children’s Hospital is optimistic about the issue -- hoping potential parents are aware of growing societal support for people with Down syndrome and their families.
Dr. BRIAN SKOTKO: “What I also envision is a world where people with Down syndrome continue to prove that they can succeed and they’re important contributors to their local communities. I think the challenge is, how do you convey these new possibilities into the prenatal discussions that are coming around the corner so that mothers and fathers can make an informed decision?”
The researchers behind the study say they aren’t ready to roll out the test just yet, but hope to have it on the market within one to two years.

Sexual orientation and cancer survival rates could be related. Researchers at the Boston University School of Public Health studied survey data and found gay men were nearly twice as likely to have been diagnosed with cancer than straight men.
“They also got sick ten years younger than straight men.”
“The researchers in the study say gay men and lesbian women are more likely to smoke and abuse alcohol than straight men and women. They’re also less likely to see their doctor for routine physicals or cancer screenings.” (WMAQ)
Researchers say it cannot be proven gay men are at greater risk for developing cancer. According to MSNBC - experts say smoking is definitely a factor. One study researcher notes HIV could provide another explanation.
“...gay men are more likely than straight men to be HIV positive. Therefore, HIV-positive gay men are at a higher risk for anal, lung and testicular cancers and Hodgkin's lymphoma than people who are HIV negative...”
Researchers didn’t find the same to be true among lesbian and bisexual women -- but the study did find they’re more likely to report poor health after cancer treatment. One lesbian health advocate shared some explanations for this find with MyHealthNewsDaily.
“It's not that lesbian or bisexual women walk around more depressed than their straight peers... But coming out to each new person … takes a lot of energy... For some, it's easier to stay silent ... for fear that they will be met with a negative reaction..."
And a writer at Philly Magazine agrees -calling the absent regular medical screenings, “...an issue that may be impacted by a lack of tolerance among many medical providers when it comes to sexual identity.”
The San Diego Gay and Lesbian News highlights the study as an opportunity to identify programs necessary to care for lesbian, gay and bisexual cancer survivors.
